Techniques

Technique is what can separate one chiropractor from another. Most patients don’t know what we can offer.

Our great doctors, doctors of chiropractic in Magnolia, Texas offers the following chiropractic techniques.

All are case dependent.

MAIN ADJUSTING TECHNIQUES

1) Diversified (Palmer Package) -is the most commonly used adjustment technique by chiropractors. Like many chiropractic and osteopathic manipulative techniques, Diversified is characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust. Diversified is considered the most generic chiropractic manipulative technique and is differentiated from other techniques in that its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment of spine and joint dysfunction

3) NIMMO (trigger point therapy) –http://nimmoed.org/ The starting point of this Receptor-Tonus technique is that dysfunctional muscle results in joint restriction and/or misalignment, and abnormal visceral function. These problems often are self-perpetuating, and require external intervention to disrupt the reflex arcs. Receptor-Tonus technique identifies and treats these myofascial trigger points, so as to normalize neurological function, and reduce or eliminate both direct and referred pain. Normalizing receptor function also normalizes effector regulation of muscle and gland function, freeing a muscle or group of muscles from hypertonus, and improving the patient’s posture and overall bodily function.

4) Webster Technique for Pregnant Woman –Safe and Effective way for pregnant woman to get relief and help the baby turn in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Watch this video to see it done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et7JuuMrr-Y
